Otherwise, you'll be asked how you know it was connected to the service. Statistics show that 9% of men and 11% of women have fertility issues. So, very likely, you'll be classified under that category.<br /><br />Before and after medical files are very important. For this whole 3M earplug litigation (not class-action status), I provided my entry hearing test from when I first entered the military, and all hearing tests I had each year in the military. Back then, I always grabbed extra ear plugs as a just in case and just threw them in a junk box when I did't use them. So, I was able to prove that I actually possessed the ear plugs as well (I also had pictures of me wearing them). Even with all of that, I was still run through the ringer with questions, but ultimately I am moving towards a settlement.Response by SGT Chris Stephens made May 19 at 2020 7:16 PM2020-05-19T19:16:45-04:002020-05-19T19:16:45-04:00PO1 Ada Hewlett5939048<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There must be a service connected condition that caused the fertility issue such as and not limited to; PTSD or depression. So the answer is yes it is possible.Response by PO1 Ada Hewlett made May 27 at 2020 4:39 AM2020-05-27T04:39:16-04:002020-05-27T04:39:16-04:002020-05-19T11:02:25-04:00
